Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Has Scot Loeffler done enough to keep his position as Offensive Coordinator?
The team was plagued by the injury bug on offense and defense as well. An overwhelming amount of true and redshirt freshmen experienced significant playing time this year. In a nationally televised game, the Hokies defeated an Ohio State football program that had not lost a home game against an unranked opponent since 1982. Michael Brewer was a good High School QB but missed VTs spring practices and had not seen significant playing time at the college level which explained some of the communications breakdowns with the wide receivers. Despite the obstacles, the Hokies were able to keep their bowl streak alive and hold on to the commonwealth cup for the eleventh straight year by defeating an improved UVA team.

Where Would You Go?
Imagine you are 18 years old and the top recruit in the nation. You have the choice to go to any school in the country (except VT because otherwise we'd all choose to Hokies).
Where do you go? Why?
Post for football and basketball, they don't have to be the same schools. Don't berate people for going to rival schools.
My choices:
For football I would go to Georgia. Warm weather, girls in sundresses, premier conference, team with something to prove. Obviously I'm a QB and they've done pretty well with those recently.

Could it be time for a change at the top?
All along I have said it, repeated it, and stood by it. I was willing to put in another year of this if the coaches could show that they were bringing in the talent needed to make the turnaround that we all expect before Frank's expected departure after the 2016 season.

Virginia Tech almost burned Andrew Ford's redshirt vs. UVA
This little tidbit seems to have slipped through the cracks.
OC Scot Loeffler tells Frank Beamer's website that #Hokies "came within a millimeter" of pulling Andrew Ford's redshirt vs. UVa.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) December 9, 2014

Bud Foster Prepared to sign an extension with a significant raise - Per TSL
http://chat.virginiatech.sportswar.com/message_board/vtfootball/2014/December/9/5822903.php
I give full credit to this to Will Stewart at TechSideline. Apparently last week/over the weekend they were told by people close to the AD that a deal to extend Bud and make him financially very well off is on the table ready to be signed. So if you are hearing anything about Bud going elsewhere (the big rumor right now is to A&M) those reports are 100% false.

Athletic Dept paying for tix for 100 Cadets
From the Commandant:
"Heading to Annapolis!
The Athletic Department, in recognition of the strong support of the cadets throughout the season, have offered up to 100 tickets for cadets to attend the game in uniform and sit as a block, as they do at all home games. The cadets are being surveyed to see who would like to be in the block.
Definitely in the spirit of Ut Prosim!"
I assume then they proxy tix you can buy on the site for the VTCC would be to make that block larger.

FINAL and Week 15: Pick 6 Results
Congrats HokieJoe3 and zackvt14 for going 5-1 this week, finishing strong.
However neversitdownVT, Sshifflett, The Fighting Gobbler, and The maroon bird came up Big 12 and went nil and 6.
Overall, it was very tight.
For those that played every week, brooks_akerVT won by a single game, finishing at 55.6%. Hokie11_DBU missed a week, but was only 1 game behind Brooks finishing with a 58.3% correct picking percentage. if either of you are going to the Military Bowl, let me know, drinks will be had. Congrats to both.

The 2008 ACC championship game is the article of the day on Wikipedia.
We were 8-4 going into that game against Boston College. Losing to East Carolina, BC, FSU, and Miami. As, terrible as we were this year, we were only 2 games better during that regular season which was an ACC championship year. The truth is we had a ton of injuries to players that were starters and will be starters next year. (We also had injuries in that season to Tyrod and Glennon I believe) If we can get any kind of offense next year, which it has to be better, we should be pretty good. We are starting to find some playmakers on offense. Edmunds will be back at 100% next year as well. And on defense, how awesome will it be to get Maddy and Facyson back?

Question for French - head scratching offensive playcalls
By: Bruce Smiff 82
on December 6, 2014, 5:08 PM
French,
In several game-tape reviews of the Hokie Offense, there is mention of 'head-scratcher' calls by Loeffler. In your opinion, is Scot Loeffler unique as someone who, at least at SOME point was regarded as a legit offenisve mind, sends head-scratcher calls to the field? Are there less head-scratchers than there use to be? I've got to imagine that Scot is simply a mortal man like all of us and that (at least) he is a significant upgrade over our last OC.
Thanks,
John

Kyle Fuller destroys Dez Bryant, wait.... What just happened
I don't have much to say about this other than: OUCH
Seems like Kyle was going for the ball instead of the hit and paid for it.
